This week on the podcast, Alberta's Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, RJ Sigurdson, joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the province's most pressing ag issues. From celebrating 75 years of being rat-free to the ongoing fight against Richardson Ground Squirrels and the call to bring back strychnine, Sigurdson shares his thoughts on pest management.

In an effort to combat the rise in addictions and overdoses seen on the prairies, Alberta's provincial government has tabled an involuntary drug treatment act. The Compassionate Intervention Act, if passed, could see adults and children mandated into treatment if they are deemed to be a risk to themselves or others. Alberta Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Dan Williams, joins Evan to share how this act would be implemented in the province.

After the Impact Assessment on Oil and Gas Cap we learned how devastating it actually would be Canadians and the Alberta government made to make the Liberals known of it all.Send a one-time contribution to the show - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XARF5X38AMZULListen to our Podcast on the go: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/elev8podcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elev8podcast X: https://twitter.com/TheElev8Podcast0:00 - Intro1:40 - Danielle Smith Puts Liberals on Notice8:43 - White House Calls out Quebec Tax Stats

Alberta plans to build two involuntary drug addiction treatment centres, for people who won't or can't seek treatment themselves. Matt Galloway asks Alberta's Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Dan Williams why his government believes this is the right approach — and what evidence there is to show that forced treatment helps.

Cory Morgan, Nigel Hannaford and Shaun Polczer discuss Alberta Minister of Infrastructure, Peter Guthrie's resignation, the Liberal debate, Trump on Canadian oil, and airplanes and asteroids on this week's episode of the Pipeline.

After years of leftist politicians and activists demonizing Canada's energy sector, things are finally starting to look up. As the international demand for ethical energy grows and more pro-oil and gas politicians are elected, 2025 has the potential to be a prosperous year for Canada's energy sector. But there are still lurking threats for the energy sector. The small but vocal minority of climate activists continue to be persistent and the threat of U.S. tariffs may impact the sector as well. Today on The Alberta Roundup, Alberta Minister of Energy and Minerals Brian Jean joins the show to discuss the Alberta government's priorities in the new year and how it will continue standing up for the province's oil and gas sector.

Why are Canadians forced to wait more than a year for a hip replacement? Why does it take 18 months to get an MRI? How is it possible that 6.5M Canadians can't even find a family doctor?

If 22 people were being shot each day on Canadian streets, you might expect a federal state of emergency to be called, a co-ordinated federal-provincial-territorial response, billions of dollars flowing out of government coffers to stop the violence. The opioid crisis hasn't received the same kind of all-hands-on-deck approach. Instead, there has been immense politicization of the issue, with different sides arguing different approaches while accusing political opponents of making the crisis worse and literally killing people.  In this episode of “It's Political,” we tackle the question of how to deal with the opioid crisis through different lenses. First, we'll look at the move behind decriminalization of personal possession for small amounts of illegal drugs. We'll hear about the experience in British Columbia with its three-year decriminalization pilot, the reforms its brought and the impact in Ontario. We'll look at the impact of safe injection sites, and the experience so far with “safe supply.” What is working, what is not working as well as it could be and what's behind the lack of progress? Then, we'll sit down with Alberta's Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Dan Williams and discuss his province's focus on treatment and why he believes “safe supply” isn't the answer. Finally, Federal Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu joins us to provide the federal government's perspective. Some of the clips this week were sourced from the House of Commons, CPAC, CTV, and BreakTheNeedle's X account. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Michal Stein and Althia Raj. Joy SpearChief-Morris assisted with production. Kevin Sexton mixed the show. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

Yesterday we spoke with Alberta cabinet minister and life-long resident of Fort McMurray Brian Jean who became very emotional recalling the 2016 wildfire known as The Beast and the carnage the fire caused in Fort Mac and spoke about the evacuations ordered from the city earlier this week following the encroachment of a massive wildfire. Evacuations have ended following significant rainfall.  How vulnerable does Alberta remain to devastating wildfires?  Guest: Todd Loewen, Alberta Minister of Forestry and Parks.

Director: Agri-foods laboratory, Dalhousie University.    Federal mental health and 'addictions' minister Ya'ra Saks supports Ontario government of Doug Ford and Ottawa will not move to decriminalize possession of small amounts of illicit drugs like fentanyl, meth, etc. Guest: With a reflective view, Dr. Shawn Whatley. Past president of the Ontario Medical Association and author of: When Politics Comes Before Patients.   Early in the week a wildfire approaching Fort McMurray, AB, with evacuations beginning raised the spectre of 2016 and The Beast.

Court turns unfaithful U.K. Man's "mistake" into a 'nightmare.' The story of E.S. and G.W. G.W. Is an unfaithful husband from the U.K. who engaged in a relationshp with E.S. whose court claim is G.W. is the father of her child and she has the right to pursue retroactive child support, something G.W. has refused to accept and doesn't want his marriage to be negatively affected by his behaviour. A B.C. Judge has granted E.S. a document which will allow her to pursue $100,000 in retroactive child support in a British court. Our guest says this is also a message for women who have not pursued child support and perhaps because the father has been threatening. We will also return to a term our guest introduced two week ago on the program and which most listeners had never heard before:  "Marriage-like." This is how an unofficial relationship which goes on for some time, even with both parties living in separate homes can be deemed by a court to be "marriage-like" and requiring settlement of assets on breakup as the court would in a disolved marriage claim. Guest: Scott Taylor. Family lawyer (Taylor Law Group) in Langley, B.C.  --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom Craig If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

Today's Podcast: The city of Moncton is removing the annual menorah display during Hanukkah after 20 years and the Mayor's rationale, citing a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada decision separating church and state and disallowing councils from beginning meetings with prayer is being challenged nationally and described as cowardly and motivated by fear of antisemitic demonstrators. Meanwhile Christian symbols like angels will continue to be displayed at city hall.

Moncton based lawyer and member of the Moncton synagogue board of directors. A member of the city's Jewish delegation who met with Mayor Arnold.

The warring escalates between the federal government and the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, with Alberta premier Danielle Smith calling the Justin Trudeau government "lawless." We look back to previous battles between Ottawa and Alberta, as well as the current situation which affects us all. Guest: Ted Morton.

Premier Smith in Dubai for COP28. She has described the Justin Trudeau government as "lawless." Alberta and Saskatchewan lead the charge to put an end to the federal carbon tax.  Guest: Nathan Neudorf. Alberta Minister of Development and Utilities.  A double convicted 1st degree murderer George Lovie, whose parole hearing where he was to seek unrestricted parole has been deferred from December 8 to early 2024. The hearing has been deferred because the double convicted murderer demanded that and the Canadian justice system allows and supports such a demand at the expense of the victims family. In this case the family of Don Edwards, former Team Canada and Buffalo Sabres goaltender. Lovie murdered Don's parents in 1991. Guest: Don and Tannis Edwards. An excruciating reality as they will again be required to prepare for a parole hearing for Lovie who has the right to read their Victims Impact Statements prior to the parole hearing (whenever he may agree to it). --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom Craig Podcast Co-Producer – Matt Taylor If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says he's not going to pull his support for the Trudeau Liberals over their bungling of China's election interference, at least not until his confidence in the electoral system is restored. In other words, Singh is rewarding the Liberals for the very reason he's been criticizing them. This is a level of incoherence only Singh can achieve, True North's Andrew Lawton says.

Lovie had been dating Don's sister Michele, who wanted to end the relationship. Lovie proceeded to stalk Michele, who alleged that Lovie raped her in her home several weeks prior to the murders. On March 21, 1991, Michele Edwards was leaving her home when George Lovie appeared from under her porch with a powerful hunting rifle and large knife. In terror Michele ran to her parents' home with Lovie following. Donna and Arnold Edwards attempted to keep Lovie out, but he broke into the house. Lovie shot and killed Donna and plunged the knife into the chest of Arnold repeating "how do you like me now?" Lovie was convicted of two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder.  He was not charged with raping Michele Edwards. Since then, George Lovie has threatened the Edwards family and they fear that threat today.

Six Canadian Premiers sent a letter to Justin Trudeau warning the PM that the C-69 and C-48 legislation are threats to Canada's economic health, as well as national unity. Trudeau scoffs. As summer pre-campaign looms, Liberals continue to trail the Conservatives everywhere in Canada except Quebec. This is according to an IPSOS poll for Global News. The RCMP was created to control Indigenous people. Can that relationship be reset?  After massive public demonstrations and clashes with police over an extradition bill, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam has said she is putting the legislation on hold.  How much impact do public protests have?  Students from 1600 cities walked out of class over climate change in May. The Gilets Jaunes weekly and violent demonstrations in France forced the Macron government to back away from announced policies. In the U.S. in 2017, the Women's March became the largest protest in American history. The World Health Organization has declared the growing Ebola threat in Africa, which has now crossed from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Uganda, is not yet an international health emergency. The WHO acted similarly in 2014 and was criticized for its decision which slows international response to emerging health threats. CJOB Winnipeg's Hal Anderson joined us to speak as to how the health care system is treating a family member battling chronic pain. Meanwhile, the Chronic Pain Association of Canada announced a group of Alberta pain patients, who held a public meeting in Edmonton this week, have written a letter to the Alberta Minister of Health calling for an investigation of the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons. This is for the "secret cautioning and sanctioning of doctors trying to prescribe for Albertans suffering severe and intractable pain and unable to live without medically-managed opiates." - Guests: Blaine Higgs.
